How do you acclimate?
Embrace it!
It is gonna be in the mid-90's here with more or less high humidity until October. You can choose to huddle around your A/C unit moaning about the GAWDawful heat, or you can make up your mind to enjoy it. It is like anything else: you can acclimate really fast if you make up your mind to do it and keep a positive attitude.
The Villages, as well as Florida in general, really lives up to it's name in the summer. Flowers--both wild and domestic--abound. Lawns and golf courses are a lush green that they never achieve in the winter. Snowbirds by and large have flown north, so tee times and restaurant reservations are a lot easier to get. If pickleball, tennis, etc. are your thing, courts (especially in the afternoons) are readily available and most of them have ice-cold water available for the patrons. Life moves slower here in the summer and people by and large seem friendlier. Bear in mind that "hot and humid" are guaranteed, but the thermometer almost never reaches triple digits here and an ample supply of water will get you through even extended outdoor sessions. Just don't forget your umbrella, or you might end up cooling off really quick! Those storms can blow up out of nowhere.
